POST instead of GET

Neat code Mahmut, thanks.

Please explain code change required to send by POST instead of GET

Seems to be the function "text" and the line
$this->googleTranslateURL = sprintf($this->googleTranslateURL, $lang, $textToSpeak);

Thanks for your interest.

Firstly, Google API's Translate service (and including TTS) is not free. It's $20 per 1M characters of text.

This class not using Google API and making a regular GET request so you're limited to 100 characters of the text hence using GET method. This class is ideal for short sentences, texts and words.

In a nutshell, I'm planning to edit this class which can handle TTS service by using Google's API but it'll need a paid service as I said..

Of course!

I could not understand why you said in line 24 of index.php that
"Note 1: as this is a free service, you're limited to 100 characters of the text hence using $_GET"
cos I was thinking if I put it on my site I can do as I please. I overlooked the fact that the hard work is provided by Google whose free service is limited as you say.

Anyway, I agree that 100 chars goes a long way - thanks again

Sorry, my mistake; I mean that by saying "as of this is a free service" is not my service, it's Google's service :) sorry for semantic error.

This class is totally free and of course will be.. :)
